"This week's Big Picture winner – and recipient of a Nikon Coolpix S9300 camera worth £299.99 – is Tom Wielkopolski of Shillingford, Devon, with this image of a "spirit" bear negotiating a log in the Great Bear Rainforest, British Columbia, Canada."

For one thing the title is very misleading. If a Nikon P&S is going to make a person give up their 1DX for it then there's something seriously wrong here, lol. It would be different if the person stated the camera was a bit much for them and decided to go with a P&S.

If Nikons are so good then why does Andy Rouse have to beg/borrow Canon cameras and lenses to do his job? Simple his D800 and D4 are not reliable and Nikon cannot make them so. Only one example but food for thought! I think he is regretting moving away from Canon, except of course for the Nikon 200-400 F4 - Canon get a move on and don'y put a stupid price on it!

I quite enjoyed it. I'd never thought about it before it in those terms before but won a few $50 event tickets in a newspaper photo competition a while back so I'm a prize-winning photographer as well .

Anyway nice shot and enjoy your Coolpix, it should be much more agile than the 1DX and let you take some even more awesome shots. I've never been fortunate enough to hold one but imagine for wildlife in particular the lower shutter noise should allow you to get much closer.
